I’m single now after a 22 year relationship and as such I’m back in the “dating game”.
I have much to learn. Help me out if you can by lending your opinion of these following situations…
#1 While getting a haircut, stylist relates that she just got divorced…says that it’s hard to meet good guys…and then makes a comment about how “it’s been a long time”.
#2 Divorced lady at work seems to hang around after work yesterday in order to run into me. Conversation turns to her teenage daughter having recently moved out. Makes comment about how it’s nice to “be able to do things she couldn’t do before”…now that her daughter is gone.
#3 Young lady at work brings me a home-cooked meal for lunch. Also vigorously denies that the guy that she lives with who refers to himself as her finance is really engaged to her…
#4 Mother of my young poker-playing buddy plays cards with us the other night…after the game ends late in the evening, she applies lipstick and squirts a little perfume and then seems to be hanging around waiting to leave when I do…
#5 Young married woman at work for some reason makes it a point to tell me that she is going to be alone this weekend because her husband will be out of town…
I’m probably quite dense. It usually only occurs to me later that these women might want to sexually abuse me… How would you read these situations?
[list=1][]She’s simply inquiring as to whether you know anyone. it’s a well known fact that people in the service industry never get involved with customers. It gets ugly when break-ups occur and you try to continue the business aspect.[]She’s obviously a hobbiest and is wondering if you know any good craft shops. []hsi one is tricky: she might really be gay and looking to you for understanding, mistakign you for a “brother-in-arms” or something; or, she is looking for a threesome and is trying to draw you in, unsuspecting, so that her “roommate” can take advantage of you.[]This one might be a jackpot, thogu if you won money during the game, she might be trying to earn it back, IYKWIM. Be careful with this one, she might be a “pro.”Simple case here, she has housework that need doing and she thinks she can get you to feel sorry for her and offer to assist her.[/list=1]Hope this helped.
Run. Run far. “not her fiance”. Yeah, right. However, the whole “homecooked meal” thing was pretty sweet. For a viper. [sub]Okay, I’m making the assumption the guy really is her fiance[/sub]
Serious backseat of car nookie potential.
Tramp. Run.
Remember the old caveat: Men give love to get sex; women give sex to get love.
Not that it’s always true, but I’ll betcha the bulk of these gals are looking for a good stable guy like yourself, not just a little hot-n-sweaty action.
2 and 4 look “real” in the interest department, 1 is a definite maybe, while its true about customer service people She dropped the hint which makes it a whole new ball game.
oh, this hurts to read! i cant help you one bit. i am in the record books for missing signals (i can only think of one i got- it was pretty explicite). all i can say is, you must be a hunk o’ burning love there, or you stepped in something good. go for 'em (except the last one) and make sure you let us all know how it works out! (only if its good!)
Positive responses get 1 point, negatives a -1, and neutral, maybe, iffy, or no-answers get 0. You got a clear winner with 4, but stay away from 3 and 5.
Just come back and tell us what happens, stud! You owe it to your fans.
(Seriously, after my divorce, a friend of mine pointed out that I would have women crawling over me, because I had a job, a car and was drug-free, and gave me a “Just Divorced” banner for my car on the drive from the courthouse. Well, he wasn’t quite right, but I did get married again within a year, and I’m doing all right :D)
I disagree with the other posters here: #3 is the one!. The other cases described may or may not mean anything, but if a woman brings food for you, she’s after you badly.* That’s what my g/f originally did (after I was too thick to pick up thje more subtle signals).
*It might tend to mean that she wants something serious. Also, the fact that she may be “too young for you” isn’t what I’m talking about here; that’s up to you to decide. I’m just saying that I reckon she wants you.
